Hey guys and gals,
Anyone know of a half decent tool like DNSstuff.com only free?
I need to run some diag on a few domains but it is basically a 1 shot deal and hard to justify buying.
thanks, -Alan

man dig man nslookup man whois man traceroute
man dig man nslookup man whois man traceroute
Clearly you've never used DNSstuff.com
Yeah, I can do all that, but the above tool does a full diagnosis for you and makes debugging problems really quick and painless.
I could transmit this message via RFC1149, too, but it just would take a lot longer.

well this commands are daily bread since normally you do not need more than "dig WHATEVER domain.tld @nameserver" and if you like some nice webtools these are form my bookmarks

actually, i have, and its failed to identify issues with stale and lame NS records that I was able to easily find by hand with the 'hosts' command which I use instead of dig and nslookup.
the key is to query all the authoritative zone servers as identified via whois AND as seen via `hosts -t NS domainname dnsserverip` and verify that all the authoritative servers have the same SOA serial # and NS data.
